“It is hard to describe in words how much I loved my semester abroad experience in Granada. I didn’t speak any Spanish when I arrived, but with the support of the program staff, the professors at the CLM and my host family, I was both proficient and confident in Spanish by the time I left. Granada is a city with a large college student population, and the community of Granada is unlike any other. Everyone was surprisingly friendly and welcoming, especially to Americans like me who were trying to learn Spanish, and there is so much to do in Granada, both during the day and at night. It’s also very easy to travel around Europe from Granada – I went to places like Paris, Morocco, London, Florence, Venice, and many, many cities all over Spain. Anyone who is looking for an amazing semester abroad experience where they can learn (or reach fluency in) a language and fully immerse themselves in a fun, rich culture with great people and delicious food should absolutely consider studying abroad in Granada.”-Melissa Hill, Brown University, Intensive Language Program, Fall 2014
